$13.5 trillion in investments are needed to transition to a carbon-neutral future by 2050. Carbon credit demand is expected to grow from 0.2 Gt in 2022 to 1.5 Gt in 2030.

The bulk of the financing of these investments needs to come from the private sector. Consequently, by 2025, the private markets in ESG are projected to grow to €1.2tn representing 42.4% of the total European private assets market. With its team and innovative technological set-up, LEIW is perfectly positioned to enable the necessary private sector contribution, through offering investors with a range of sustainable alternative investment solutions.

Four sustainable investment families

• Private Debt strategies financing projects that generate returns from the generation and sale of voluntary carbon credits, starting with all maturity nature-based carbon removals, and then further strategies along the maturity axis as well as along the voluntary carbon credit sectors. Here we provide targeted solutions to the end demand, and develop additional income streams per project, for example stemming from the project’s sale of biodiversity credits or from silviculture. Other solutions could target tech based carbon removals in an infrastructure finance setting

• Private Equity strategies  investing in companies necessary for the efficient and transparent management and supervision of the private debt strategies, and where the demand picture we see gives us a direct edge. Examples would be satellite imagery, soil microbiome detection, and improved forest management technologies. We will enlarge the PE family along the access of company maturity, always post-product but from scaling to series A and B, and enlarging across sectors.

• Ethical Recovery Special Situation Private Debt strategies recovering sustainable finance projects in difficulty, through education, inclusion and close collaboration, so that no viable project is lost. Here we profit from our deep debt management experience., combined with our sustainable finance expertise and quant finance and AI knowledge.
• In future, we also target the management of the commodity like Voluntary Carbon Credit strategies,  coming from the above private debt solutions, enabling the sourcing and professional management of the necessary carbon credit exposure at exposed corporations, for example when aiming for SBTi targets.

With a founding team boasting extensive expertise and backgrounds from esteemed institutions, we are well-equipped to optimize portfolio management through traditional and cutting-edge financial approaches, positioning us as leaders in sustainable investment management.
